The Medici Family during the Italian Renaissance never took it this far, I wager.

Only if they exclude male clients by policy. Being woman friendly is their marketing strategy.

No, it wouldn't. Self enforced segregation by a "protected class" is ok. Remember, the books really do not balance. Just because it is not ok for men to discriminate against women it does not necessarily follow that women cannot discriminate against men.

"We are women friendly, but that does not mean that we are hostile to men," Miss Hastreiter said.'

...read the fine print....male customers are subject to penalty for early withdrawal.

What, they've got 28-day CD's?

Instead of balloon loans they've got bloat loans?

Nope. Take a look at the Curves fitness centers that are springing up everywhere for women only.

So much for the feminist claim that they only want equality.

Liberal: another word for liar.

I think the layman's term for that is "sperm bank." :-)

I'm sure that somewhere, somehow, there's already a "gay bank."

I thought that the men were offered as some sort of promotion to open an account.

Hmmmmm, Chickensoup thought. That is much better than a toaster!
